Most of the time when we think of traditional dishes during the holiday season, "healthy" is usually not the first word that comes to mind. Cranberry salad is a dish that most people are familiar with and it's great for you too... well, at least my version!

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh cranberries

1 tablespoon cinnamon & cinnamon sticks for garnishment

1 cup water

¼ cup pecans

¼ cup apples

¼ cup coconut shreds

½ cup agave syrup

Instructions:

1. Add 1 cup water to pan and boil.

2. Add 4 cups of the fresh cranberries into the pan & simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Stir in the agave syrup

4. Mix the pecans, apples, coconut shreds and cinnamon into the pan.

5. Transfer the salad from the pan into a glass bowel and chill in the refrigerator.

6. Scoop about 1/4 of a cup of the salad into a fancy teacup and add a cinnamon stick to finish it off.
